The photographer and team of staff traveled to Australia for the shoot in late October and scouted locations by boat and helicopter. They used the Great Barrier Reef and surrounding locations for a month. Iooss hired his friend and longtime photo assistant Troy Robertson, who will be on the next Survivor One World, airing on CBS on February 15th.

The 2011 Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition cover of Irina Shayk was photographed by Walter’s son Bjorn Iooss in Hawaii.
